Sugar Daddies return with all the favorites on Saturday, May 5th. This Montana-based trio is comprised of Richard Riesser (guitar, vocals), Oscar Dominguez (keyboards, bass and vocals), and Ron Craighead (drums, vocals). The band has been successfully performing in various venues throughout Southwest Montana since its inception in 2012. While the gist of their material is popular rock n’ roll, country, oldies, R&B and blues, they also have an extensive arsenal of original songs, all of which are palatable, as well as an array of lesser-known but still great songs by both obscure and well-known artists/songwriters. Their main focus is variety, and they half-jokingly have a motto of “No request left behind.”
Sunrise Karaoke will test your vocal abilities on Friday, May 11th. Bring your favorite songs and get ready to impress — or at least give it your best shot! You haven’t done karaoke until you’ve done it with Sunrise.
www.TWANG brings the party on Saturday, May 12th. Their name says it all. The truck drivin’, heart breakin’, honky-tonk dance band has been offering up real country music to their fans since 1998. No smarmy, plastic hat-wearing, Nashville pop from these guys. Classic country and seamless TWANG originals set this band apart from all others in the Western U.S. The band features the combined talents of bass player and vocalist Russ Olsen, drummer Mike Gillan, fiddle and stand up steel guitar player Mike Parsons, lead guitarist and songwriter Marcus Engstrom, as well as rhythm guitar player and songwriter Buck Buchanan. These guys take no prisoners and leave nothing but happy dancers in their wake. Don’t miss a chance to take in one of their “real deal, premium country music” shows. You won’t be sorry.
